fifth scroll [video ; open - Thursday morning]

[Mulan's voice is muffled and part of her face is hidden behind the regulation gas mask she was issued at work, but for those that would recognize them her eyes and hair are still clearly visible. Likewise, the familiar armor that covers her upper body.]

For those of you that are more recent arrivals - I'm aware there are a few of you - it is to be advised you avoid coming into contact with the strange mists that have been filling the area the past couple of days. Breathing in this air can cause you to experience unpredictable and dangerous effects. [Her muffled voice turns even more grim and her eyes flash darkly as she recalls her own personal encounter with the fog's abilities, and she hurries on past giving herself time to reflect.] Though not everyone reacts the same, it can dangerous to your health for a multitude of reasons. The best course of action would be to remain indoors if you can, and avoid them completely.

If there are any small errands or tasks that would otherwise bring you out, I would be willing to undertake them for you. Obviously I can't get to everyone, but I'd like to help if I can, as much as possible.

The good news is that if I'm reading the signs right, there seems to be a storm brewing for later today. Hopefully it will be enough to blow all of this accursed fog away, so we can all breathe safely once more.

Do you know anyone who can safely enter the forest? Elissa disappeared last night.

[girlworthfighting]

I might be able to go that way, or maybe ask another of the sheriff's people. Can you tell me anything else about exactly when she left?

[unofficial_ambassador]

Yesterday she sent a general wave about Kozmotis being missing. When I replied, she said that she'd been out in the fog for a few hours looking for him. Then she was . . . hallucinating that her friends were with her - she heard one of them at the door and she left. She has a large dog with her, I'm not certain whether or not he'll be affected.

Sometime after midnight, she had her communicator back and seemed to think a group of people were with her, but it was just the dog.

[And now you have Mulan's very full and undivided attention. That sounds a lot like what happened the time she was effected herself; only the old shades she thought were appearing in front of her were a lot more violent.]

That's not at all a good sign. Especially if she was in the mists for so long, and she was seeing them the whole time.

[unofficial_ambassador]

I can't say for certain, but it sounded like she was. I told her to stay in Kozmotis's home, but I don't know if she'll listen.

[girlworthfighting]

Hopefully she will. It should wear off, or...I'll try and see what I can do.

[unofficial_ambassador]

Thank you. She sounded happy, but that can be just as dangerous sometimes.

[girlworthfighting]

When it comes to the past? Yes. It can.

I'll let you know if I find anything out.
